			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in April, I <a href="http://www.loupaglia.com/correlate/2007/04/28/web-20-video-explanation/" title="Web 2.0 by Michael Wesch">discussed</a> a provocative video from Michael Wesch explaining web 2.0 that seemed to get coverage everywhere across the web and even more so after the Web 2.0 conference.  Wesch has come out with another one demonstrating the importance of data, how we can utilize it and really simply starts us thinking about the number of ways the web facilitates a true digital evolution (notice I did not use &#8220;revolution&#8221;, I&#8217;m beginning to believe that word does not exist with regard to the rate of change we are witnessing each year on the web).  Thanks Michael for another great <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4CV05HyAbM" title="Information R/evolution">piece</a>, Information R/evolution!</p>

I am not endorsing it, I&#8217;m not not endorsing it.  I am simply saying it is good stuff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes video truly is better than any written explanation.  Web 2.0 Expo this year was kicked off with a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE">video</a> by Michael Wesch, an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University.  It really needs no explanation but to summarize it shows the true value and power that the web, and more specifically Web 2.0 creates.  It demonstrates the value of people and the power of data, check it out:</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE&#038;rel=1&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01&#038;border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE&#038;rel=1&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01&#038;border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure Professor Wesch has gotten a lot more coverage of the video since the Expo, such as the follow-up <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/04/live_blogging_t.html">post</a> on O&#8217;Reilly and <a href="http://www.somewhatfrank.com/2007/02/video_explains_.html">Somewhat Frank</a>.  In fact, I&#8217;m quite late in posting about it, there are tons of posts in the b&#8217;sphere on the video and its appearance at the conference.  There is also a very good <a href="http://battellemedia.com/archives/003386.php">interview</a> with John Battelle.  Many of the attendees had already seen the video (I must admit, I had not) but doesn&#8217;t that alone shows how the web enables us all to find important, or simply interesting information.  You have to ask though whether the creator ever imagined it getting over two million views globally when he created it.  </p>
